BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Aug. 23, 2017) — EBSCO Industries Inc. (EBSCO) announced today that it has hired insurance veteran Phillip Moultrie as vice president of client services for its thriving insurance brokerage, S.S. Nesbitt (SSN).
“Those who know Phillip know of his impeccable character and his reputation as the consummate insurance professional,” said Paul Barber, president of SSN. “He is an especially top talent acquisition for our agency based on his proven ability to deliver exceptional — and consistent — customer care for our commercial insurance practice. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the best in the business.”
Moultrie’s immediate focus will be ensuring that the agency delivers the highest quality of services to its clients and equipping the service team to thoroughly care for client needs. He will also manage the clients’ account managers in the property and casualty practice area.
“The opportunity to work with a prominent and supportive organization such as EBSCO, to collaborate with a highly talented and people-focused executive like Paul Barber, and to contribute to a dynamic growth agency is a unique and exciting combination,” said Moultrie (shown left). “I’m honored to lead and support SSN’s incredible service team, whose job it is to take care of clients’ insurance needs day in and day out. I have immense respect for Paul, the mission he has for the organization and the culture he is cultivating within the agency.”
Moultrie brings over 30 years of experience in insurance and risk management, much of it focused on the management of client services teams. He worked with Liberty Mutual for 10 years as a producer and service supervisor and with Marsh & McLennan Companies for 15 years as a senior client manager. Moultrie came to SSN from Russo Corp., a diversified foundation and site work contractor, where he served as a risk manager and director of safety. Prior to that, he provided risk management services for Walter Energy, a metallurgical coal producer for the steel industry.
Moultrie’s unique experience across client services, production and risk management provides SSN with the breadth of knowledge required to enhance the agency’s holistic customer experience: from design to implementation to evaluation.
“Our mission is to provide the best possible comprehensive risk consulting services to help our clients succeed,” added Barber. “We are confident that this new role in our agency, filled by the best in the business, will enable us to accomplish just that.”
